Edwin Dywayne

Nickerson Sr.

Edwin Dywayne Nickerson Sr. was born October 28, 1971 to the late Evangelist Geraldine (Barren) Henderson and Mr. Eddie Lett Sr. He grew up in Prichard, AL. Edwin played football at Vigor High School where his team went on to win the (6A) Championship in 1988. He worked many years as a cook at El Chico Mexican Restaurant. Years later he attended Bishop State Community College in the Truck Driving School. He ran a weekly route in Texas, Lousianna, and Florida for Barnett Millworks. As a youth, Edwin attended St. Mark Church where he was the church drummer. As a young man, he joined Rightly Dividing the Word Church in 1996 where he gave his life to Christ. At RDTW Church, he served as the soundman. He also headed the media ministry and taught Sunday School when needed. Edwin made sure the grass was cut at the church and for many years he cut it himself. He was a faithful friend and father and the best husband in the world. Edwin was affectionately known as "Uncle Ed". He was a father figure and uncle to many. There are too many deeds to list that Edwin would do without any compensation or recognition. He loved his family. He taught his sons the word of God and introduced them to the God He loved and served. He taught his sons about manhood and lived a life before them about how a man should love his family and how to be a provider. Ed was an excellent cook. One of his last acts of kindness was preparing a meal for his family. He was a man of integrity and extremely considerate. His happiness was based on everyone elses' happiness. His infectious smile would light up the room. Edwin left a lasting impression everywhere he went. He will definitely be missed. He leaves to cherish his memories: His wife of 27 years, Alfreda and children: Edwin Jr., Keylotta, and Joseph. One Goddaughter, Karysen Banks. Siblings: Vivian McCovey, Leslie (Delores) Barren, Manuel (Cheryl) Nickerson, Marilyn (Walter) Johnson, Rita Barren, and Sylvester (Regina) Nickerson.
